P: There is no way to un-mark photos for republishing in Publish Services.

Lightroom 3.4 There is no way to un-mark photos for republishing. I do not want to re-publish every photo I modify after publishing it, but there seems to be no way to prevent re-publishing of photos that I don't want re-published.

There is a "mark photo for republishing" menu item. I need the opposite.

In the photostream view of Publish Services for flickr there are New Photos to publish and Modified photos to Re-publish. There does not seem to be a way to remove either photo without "Removing from the collection" which is not what I want to do. "Removing from the collection" marks it for deletion from flickr!

    Good to see its been taken care of (although not sure why it was deferred 'til a major release).

    UnmarkForRepublish's days are numbered...

    Thanks Christian,

    I'm not sure why this omission (and so many others, in the SDK too) have persisted for so long - I guess Adobe has their hands full with critical bug fixes and new camera support...(and Lr4 :-)

    Cheers,
    Rob

    Rob Cole is right, his plugin does work. Brilliant work on a tiny but majorly irritating flaw in the publish service of this program. Can't explain how angry you can get at an aspect of a program that allows for maintenance of online collections but can also completely wipe your views and comments consistently.

    Not to detract from it's services, which is why I still use the publish service regularly, but this issue still should have been addressed before release.

    (Hint: use the file menu>plugin extras to access this awesome plugin)

    Nice tip for *marking* to publish, to keep from having to use the context menu... (but doesn't help with the problem of un-marking for re-publish).

    UnmarkForRepublish *does* solve the problem.

    Also, you can select the ones you do want to publish, then hold Alt/Option. The "Publish" button at lower left will change to "Publish Selected".

    Until Adobe comes to the rescue, which could be months or years...

    I can't control which items constitute a change worthy for republishing (presently only the authors of the individual publishing service plugins can do that), but you really should try the unmark-for-republish plugin above - it will solve your problem immediately. Also, I think Jeffrey Friedl's flickr plugin affords control of which items constitute a publish-worthy change, no? (I assume you are using Adobe's flickr plugin, right?)

    I've managed to do something that borked up my settings for 350 photos that i've published to flickr. I do NOT want lightroom to republish over my existing photos, but now I can't publish to flickr without that attempting to happen. Please fix this ongoing issue (some reports seem to go back over a year). We do NOT want every little change to trigger an automatic republish.

    This plugin solves the problem in the interim: UnmarkForRepublish
